First Aid for Building and Construction Industry
A great course and very informative. I took all the managers from Affleck Property Services on the course and found it extremely useful, teambuilding and informative. Emma was great and I can highly recommend it to everyone.
I thought the first aid course was excellent. Very good for any site worker and especially Site Managers. The course was very enjoyable and great to do the course is warm, airy and comfortable surroundings with creature comforts to hand.
I think you should approach the Health and Safety Executive and suggest that all building trades should do the EFA course as part of their training and qualifications for being able to work on a construction site.

I attended a 3 hour emergency First Aid course extremely well delivered by Jenny. She covered so many topics and... presented them in an easy to remember practical manner. She was also able to stimulate and answer several questions from the group around and on a tangent to the topic. I feel much more confident now.read more

Excellent course. Very easy to navigate and full of invaluable information and skills that everyone should have. My son... did this for his Duke of Edinburgh Skills section and really enjoyed it. Modules to test you knowledge after topics and a certificate of achievement at the end. Emma completes the Assessor report too. Very well organised.read more

Thoroughly enjoyed this First Aid course. The course was brilliant, not only did it take place in a air conditioned... room on one of the hottest days of the month, but the course was very hands on with lots of opportunity to practice the life saving techniques. The course instructor Steve was truly exceptional, he communicated well, was very knowledgeable and interacted well with all the delegates. I would definitely use First Aid for Life again and again and am happy to recommend them.read more

We used First Aid for Life for some in-house First Aid training for the coaches and managers at our cricket club. Those... who participated came away with a lot more confidence and knowledge on how to support club members who may need first aid, and also what pro-active measures should be in place to minimise risk as much as possible. A great session, thanksread more

I've had over 20 years of First Aid courses in various locations and environments. Without exception this was the... best.
From the get go we were very well informed and kept up to date with information during the COVID-19 developments and it's subsequent restrictions and limitations.
The course was very well attended (including 5 of my own Team) by a diverse crowd with varying experience and requirements. These were all answered and handled exceptionally.
Clarity in explanation and understanding was second to none and it's the very first time a course leader has not only explained the biomechanics of certain situations and techniques but also applied relevant, practical and common sense!
Cannot recommend them enough.read more
